radeke2017:
Good afternoon everyone, I have tried searching the thread, and I looked through page one, but I didn’t find anything. Please can anyone point me to any situation where someone got a rejected application reopened or share any advice on the situation.

My sister just received a rejection on her PR application after waiting over 20 months since October 2020; the application was rejected based on not having enough details on job duties/salary in her job letter. (The letter had some responsibilities mentioned, and it said that she was paid, but not the exact salary amount, but she attached her bank statement showing the monthly salary payment).

She has raised a web form with an explanation letter and the documents from the rejection with the necessary areas highlighted. She has also created another profile in case nothing else works for new draws in July. But a lot of time has already passed, and we would appreciate any other advice we can get. Thank you

Hmm. it is well, May God favour her.

I am a living testimony of rejection in Aug 2019 and PPR Oct 2019. Mine reason was for POF though.
As Graciouswords as suggested and others as well, please do.

I was sending webform everyday with much apology , begging and I attached supporting document to correct the said error,
I was also sending mails daily to available email address that I know are in charge of PR application
I also called IRCC to challenge them that I was not given opportunity to defend my self as written in their law that procedural fairness should be allowed when an officer is in doubt and the applicant should be given chance to explain any area in which the officer needs more clarity

I did this continuously daily for almost two weeks and backed it up with prayer and fasting.

Application was reconsidered and they officially requested new documentation and gave us 7 days to respond. We did and PPR came.

After my approval , I ordered my notes and saw that the VO was changed for the reconsideration and it was stated in the GCMS notes that my rejection was due to officer error.

Never lose hope: make sure you do it right now, address the error, prepare new letters and start sending both webform and email daily. back it up with prayer and they would respond. God's favour all the way

Hi,Betterlife2018..please help with clarification. Kindly see the attached documents; when your cousin got this email, did he initiate pick up immediately or he waited for another email prompting him to do so.
Please,anyone that has an idea should help out. Thanks in anticipation

He got a mail specifically saying that passport is ready for collection. Do you have a counterfoil on your profile already. There is a telegram group for this, send PM.

Hi, please I sincerely need help.

I have a cousin that studied Geology and graduated with 2.1 ( 3.89 out of 5). she was best graduating student in her class with awards, She has tried 3 schools now in Canada for admission for a masters program, but no success yet. All the 3 schools rejected her.

The subject was " COMPASSIONATE REQUEST"

I actually need my mum to be around as soon as possible, so I explained my situation and pleaded for faster processing. I did this for 2 days, and the 4th day got PPR.

I applied for them and applied as if they are the applicant. I only added my information under the section that asked if they want someone to communicate on their behalf with IRCC. I also used my email as contact mail.

I hope this helps

Document submitted:


My Employment letters, bank statement , proof of residence, PR cards

Applicants doc:

Good day All,

Pls, will appreciate any advice on how to change my kids’ visiting visa to study permit.
Am in Canada on Study.

Thank you.

Except things have changed, in 2019 I was able to register my 2 children in school with visiting visa. All that was required was my documentation as their mother ( I was a graduate student then on study permit). I took them to the school board covering my community and they were given letter to the school close to my address. And that was all. No issues till we got PR.

Apiness111:

He paid 23.30 Euros. If you search the site very well. Under service charges you will see the detail of the image I posted.

Both amount "23.30 and 26.35 " and are actually stated on their site. If you check the narration in your image and mine, they are actually different.
I only posted what my cousin did and another family of 3 did same.

There is group which he told me has been formed for this. You can send DM I will connect you.

All the best.

GraciousWords:




Congrats to your Cousin! Thanks for the sharing the VFS timeline.....pls help us confirm...did DHL pick up the passport from VFS Germany like they do for VFS Cairo or did VFS Germany return it themselves based on 2 way courier?

When the passport was ready for pickup. He went to DHL office to pay for pick up and DHL picked it up from VFS Germany for him and delivered to Lagos.

He only paid for one way when sending and when it was ready for pick up, he paid again to return.


For those asking for step by step. I only have understanding for a single applicant - GERMANY VFS

- To send passport, you need to pay in[b] EUROs only[/b].
- He got a friend in Germany to pay for him - 23.30 Euros ( this is the amount per applicant).
- The friend sent receipt to him

How to pay:

You'll have to pay fees through bank transfer payable to 'VFS Services Germany GmbH' and in EUROS only.

Here are the details for bank transfer:

Bank Account name – VFS Services Germany GmbH

Germany Bank name– Deutsche Bank AG

BIC/SWIFT Code – DEUTDEFFXXX

IBAN Number – DE84 5007 0010 0091 6916 03

Narration: Just ensure you provide these information.
Purpose of payment: Visa Transmission fee
Narration: Your Surname and application number


-
With receipt and other doc as required for submission ( this is same for every vfs) - go to DHL office, paid for one way to send to Germany office-

Address of VFS Germany:
Visa Application Centre
Neue Gruen Strasse 17-18 Berlin 10179 Germany
Phone no: +49 211 73714828

He was getting update regularly. When he got mail that it is ready for pick up

You'll forward the pick up mail to the Dhl officer attending to you when you sent passport, he or she will turn give you a form to fill, and send u waybill via your email, make payment as instructed by the dhl officer. Forward waybill, pick up mail to these emails with an authorization letter. This authorizes you chosen courier to pick up your package from VFS Germany.
info.canger@vfshelpline.com, Interpost.canber@vfshelpline.com

I hope this helps.

That is the amount here.

JohnyF:



Congratulations! Please can you share some information on how you sent your passport to Germany?

Someone in Germany paid directly for him 23.30 euros.
They want payment in euros only if sending by mail

By Mail - You'll have to pay fees through bank transfer payable to 'VFS Services Germany GmbH' and in EUROS only.

He then took his passport, receipt of payment, consent form and copy of PPR mail to DHL.

His story in his words.........

I can't imagine if I didn't pass my Ielts that oct 2020. I prepared during the lockdown period and wrote the exam will full force during that depressing EndSars period. I passed on one sitting. It's just God if not I might have not been in d pool before Dec 23, which was the fsw last draw till date. I had no money to redo any test because no job that time, no salary- I studied hard and God did it.

How I got funds is another story. Infact plenty story for this journey. POF was 100% gift deed

I just look back and say Na mercy. I just know it's an ordained journey and I'm determined to make d best of my sojourn there, In essence, it is a total makeover, a new life beginning afresh and I trust God for a brighter future in Canada. Lookin forward to landing in May 2022.

I am a safety professional, any link or connection I will appreciate. "

To sponsor spouse, the PR must be living in Canada.

@Remicynt

Thanks for this.

Remicynt:
I recently received Ppr , I was also blessed with a baby on the 13th of March 2022. However when we applied my spouse was unaccompanied due to low crs score. Due to this change in my family composition I want to request ircc changes my spouse to accompanied due to the fact I may not be able to cope with 2 children and I need his help in our new home. I have requested my daughter be added to the application. Can I request my husband be changed to accompanied Will our crs score be recalculated Really worried as our Crs score will be low nd it might affect my PR. Plz I need your guidance. Thank you

Hmm.
I will say your act carefully. I will advise you do soft landing, get your PR cards and return to Nigeria.
Start the spouse sponsorship immediately- some are getting it in less than a year. When your baby is old enough, apply for visiting visa for your mum to accompany you back to Canada. Your husband can also try visiting visa in between.

Please do not take decision without enough clarification.
All the best.

Ibatu:



Thanks a lot,really appreciate it
I make an enquiry from an agent and he told me I can use visiting visa to enter and he said it 2years and once we enter we can make it permanent residence,please enlighten me on it

Hmm. changing visiting visa to permanent visa is not a totally " straight route". I have never done that before. My concern is why will you put your immigration record at risk by overstaying, what if changing to PR as plan eventually fail. it is not automatic as you think. Agent will collect money and over promise you.

I am a PR holder and can give you facts. Why not go thru school instead, read up all other sure pathway and do it right.

Well, I can guide you more if need be. Go to the PR thread link I earlier shared. Read and digest, ask question and you can do this yourself.
All the best

@maternal
Thanks for helping out on some issue here pls I want to ask you about moving to Canada,currently am in Dubai with wife and 3month old daughter and we are planning on moving to Canada from there,my wife is a dental nurse and am a chef though I did all a lot of job like warehouse assistant before I finally got the chef work,please what is our chance rate of getting Canada visa because we are planning to move this year,,Thanks

Are you planning relocating permanently? Then you have to work on permanent residency journey. There is a good chance for your wife being a nurse. some provinces are targeting nursing. Here is the thread for that category https://www.nairaland.com/6829885/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/113#111274026.

Ask question there and I can as well guide if you need help.
All the best.

Congratulations. So happy for you.

Please can you give little things to note for the information section. Another one is happening this Thursday. A friend got an invite.
Thanks, Is it like interview process ?

Thanks bro. This was helpful. I didn’t see the PDF assessment page, however I saw a guide online to calculate my eligibility score. It was 85.

send PM, I will show you.

You score should be high though.

buchhogonzalez:
Dear friends, please I need advice and guidance. I have a relative (sister) in Manitoba Canada. Her husband and one of their friends assisted in creating a profile for me on IRCC where I had a CRS score of 391. They also created a profile for me on MPMP. All these were done in November 2021. My worry is that am I not supposed to have an assessment score on the MPNP platform against which I can benchmark when there's a draw in Manitoba?
Please advice me as I am a novice in this.

Thanks.

I will help you a little, I supported my sister ( sibling). she got approval early this month.
LAA was July 2021, Nomination MPNP March 2nd 2022.
ITA- Fed : March 3rd 2022.

You have taken right steps. Log in to your EOI Account, on the last page of your EOI profile - there is a place you can download pdf copy of your assessment and you will see your accumulated score. This you will use to benchmark.

I hope your NOC is also in demand in MB. Last year draw for this category was done between April and July 2021. We are hoping that same will happen this year.

I hope this helps.

Thank you so much. Highly grateful

Kindly do not part with Flywire naira payment as the rates are exhorbitant.

Select Flywire International payment in CAD or USD.

Visist Flywire website, type in your school name and get a receipt.

With Flywire receipt, you can apply for Form A on the CBN's Trade System. Flywire receipt in CAD or USD will serve as your school bill.

Documents to upload for Form A.
1. Admission Letter
2. Flywire receipt.
3. Highest credential (HND/Bsc etc).
4. Passport Bio-data Page.

Ensure you are sure of the bank you are selecting. Some banks do Form A only in USD. If this is the case, choose USD receipt on Flywire, but CAD will give the best rate.

Choice of banks to avoid delay:
Access Bank (2 weeks all currency), Jaiz (4 days USD only), Globus bank (1 week, USD only and BSC, MSc and PhD only)

Divinedxtrovert:


Thanks for this, information. I finally made my payment through FlyWire and I told the international admissions through mail that I have made my payment and attached my payment tracking link to it.
Thanks once again for your speedy response.

Hi, please can you help with the process of using Flywire. Is this also same as using Form A.
My sister wants to pay to Seneca college and we want to use form A. please can you guide with the step by step process please.

On the school payment links option, we saw Flywire. At what rate were you debited please. Kindly pardon my plenty question. I just need clarity

thanks.

Just create your profile on WES USA after that inform them that you have transcript with WES CANADA. They know what to do next... all the best.

see below someone experience-

" This answer is for transferring documents from WES CANADA to WES USA. If you want to transfer documents from WES USA to WES CANADA, the steps remain the same - just that your transferring agency and receiving agency will be reversed. Here’s how you do that:

You would need to create a WES US account and pay the amount for your credential evaluation.
WES will generate a reference number for the US evaluation.
On the WES site, there’s a web form where you can contact them. Submit your request there. Tell them your OLD WES CANADA reference number. Also tell them your new WES USA reference number. Tell them you want your documents transferred from the Canada account to the US account.
They’ll do it within a week to ten days usually.
To be sure that this gets done, 2–3 days after you submit your request for the transfer, you should call the WES helpline and tell the customer service rep that you submitted a request for this online and can he/she please confirm that they have received it? They’ll let you know.
I had done this early this year. And it took about 7–8 days for them to transfer the docs but it was done easily. Your WES US account will show your documents as received when the transfer is completed by them."

Jacknn:


Wow serzz.. thanks. Was already thinking of the headache to resend transcript for wes US oo.. pls what do I need to do,how can I kickstart the process,am I to message anybody via WES.. I just PM'd you tho,pls reply

No transcript request needed again. Same works for both

Jacknn:
Hello house??
I intend applying to schools in the US via study route. And I want to evaluate my credentials(WES) for US. I had already done WES canada doc by doc evaluation and I intend doing US wes course by course. The question is,will I still need to send my transcript from my university to wes US for evaluation with the knowledge that the authenticity ad already been known and valid when I did wes canada..

I'm asking so I can avoid the delay for transcript request from my varsity again.

Anybody who's successfully done the process should pls advice on what to do?! Is it possible

shams040:
Hello Everyone,

So I'm so confuséd and I need a first hand information. This is it, I got funded PhDs in Australia,Canada and US so I decided to start with US visa because I was faster. So I got the visa on June 7, 2021 and I applied for Canada visa also but it don't come out till I left got to the US. It came out approved the night I landed in the US. Now I already identify a PR route I can apply for in the US considering my publication profile and all.

What I want to ask is, does Canada give PR to PhD students before graduating? My school is in Ontario if I decides to leave the US now?

Pls I'm in my late 20's and my wife is attracting mid 20 this year

I will respond based on practical experience. I came to Canada as a student - for master. I was already in the pool for express entry even before landing Canada but my score was still very low. After crossing the hurdle of ielts in Canada, I got ITA and PR before I graduated and switch to PR while I was still a student.

So it depends on many factors- You can start ur PR processing even as student in Canada if FSW draws resume as we are all hoping. You will qualify based on that using ur previous degree and experience while you are still progressing on your PHD

Also your wife can work on spousal work permit in Canada ( not sure US gives that opportunity).

Check Ontario provincial nomination system, is there an opportunity to apply via PNP ( now using your wife Canadian experience and she will be the principal applicant). If that is possible ( not sure but I know Manitoba province has such opportunity after six months of working) then you can apply via PNP and then get PR finally.

Based on the above, Canada looks attractive.

In all, let God direct you and weigh all the pros and cons.

Hello house, I am a single Mum of 29years old with 3kids and a bank statement of 10m. I have a Bsc certificate from a federal university in Nigeria, I am currently writing ACCA exams but not done yet. I have only successfully written 7 papers in ACCA, I also have a diploma certificate in accountant and business which I got from ACCA. I am very smart and hard working, pls how feasible is it for me to relocate to Canada with my 3 kids....can anyone put me through the process & the best way to apply...?
Pls note, I have an online business I run so I do not have any relevant work experience.

You have a good age at the moment- by the time you are 30 years - your score will be reducing.

Evaluate ur BSc with the diploma cert you got from ACCA - these give u two or more cert points
Start preparing for ielts - and max it out in all sessions
The above are the first things you need to do.

You may have to think through all your work experience within the last 10 years and see which you can use.
Start reading from page 1, check cic website for additional information and use the search button above where necessary.

All the best

Dameelee:
Hello
Please I want to find out about spousal work permit.
I’m a student currently in Canada and my program ends in august. My wedding is in August and I intend on applying for a spousal work permit for my husband after the wedding.
Considering the fact that my program would end at that time, will this be a problem in the application?

Let me sound this to you, be careful when you are planning this. If your program ends in August , when will your study permit expire?
It depends on study permit validity. Your spouse will only get work permit upto the expiration of your study permit. if you are planning to extend your study permit till after August then you can apply for both of you at the same time.

If you switch from study visa to Post graduate work permit- then you MUST be employed in related NOC (A, B ... ) hope you understand before you can qualify to apply for spousal work permit.

This requires good planning- the best option is to marry before your program ends and then apply or ensure u get a job in required NOC immediately after your program.

All the best.

Good evening guys, my wife and I just got our IELTS result. She has 7.5 and I got 6.0. she has a law degree and a sibling in canada,We are both in our early 30s. She is going to be the principal applicant.please what are our chances considering our IELTS result. Thanks

You need to work with the CRS calculator tool- google it. Input ur current ielts score and other details and see what ur score is. Then make changes to see the required ielts score that you need to have high score well above 470. Your target is your wife should max out all the 4 sessions in ielts.

All the best.

aranymous:
Please am I on the right track for those who have / are planning to use ACCA to caim 2 or more

For country of education: Nigeria

Type of Education: Professional Education Qualifications

I think you need to be careful in the part of country of education to avoid requesting for PCC. I think you will need to select Via correspondence somewhere. If you select UK as country only they will ask for police cert. Just take note

Mola02:

Good day everyone,
Please my husband is about adding me to his application( we got married after ITA).. and part of the documents I will be submitting is my birth certificate. But In my birth certificate my parents do not bear the same surname (they were never married). Please do I need prove any relationship with my mother because of her different surname or i should just leave it like that. Thank you

Just to clarify - I hope you both got married after AOR and he is adding you after AOR.

Getting married after ITA and before AOR will lead to points recalculation- hope you know.
All the best.
